Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Ji Xingyao had been busy recently and finally saw some hope, but was thrown back to the pre-liberation era by Li Zhao's words. How could he accept this?

"Eunuch, this is not feasible. The Empress has not been to the Imperial Garden these past few days because of the rain. She is depressed and eats very little. I wanted to accompany her to relax when the weather cleared up. But...why doesn't the Emperor agree?"

Eunuch Zhou avoided Ji Xingyao's burning gaze and sighed imperceptibly.

Originally, he wanted to go to Yonghe Palace and personally convey the emperor's decree to the imperial concubine. This was not an easy task, and if he went, he would be in trouble.

Just when he was worried, Ling'er came to his door. He immediately decided to let Ling'er take the difficult thing back.

The emperor's words were golden, and once spoken, there was no room for retreat. Eunuch Zhou said, "Ling'er, I dare not speculate on the emperor's intentions, so please don't embarrass me."

When Eunuch Zhou said this, Ji Xingyao was speechless.

We are all workers in the workplace. When facing the evil landlord class, no one should make things difficult for anyone else.

When returning to Yonghe Palace, Ji Xingyao kept his head down almost the entire time.

How should she tell Wen Yuan the bad news?

If she had known this would happen, she would not have let her curiosity get the better of her and come to ask for her life.

"Ling'er."

Someone called her from behind.

Ji Xingyao recognized Li Heng's voice and without even turning her head, she quickened her pace.

"Ling'er, wait a minute, I have something to say."

Ji Xingyao was overwhelmed. Li Heng was a prince, and he must have at least a hundred things to deal with every day. How could he have so much free time to turn into a stalker?

Also, she usually thought the palace was incredibly large. If she wanted to run into a palace maid she knew well, she would have to walk a long way. But when it came to Li Heng, everything seemed small, and they kept bumping into each other.

Ji Xingyao was already in a bad mood, and she became even more upset when she saw Li Heng. She simply pretended to be deaf and kept moving forward.

"Bang."

She ran headfirst into a wall of flesh.

Hiss, Ji Xingyao looked up angrily.

Li Heng smiled apologetically: "Did your forehead hurt?"

Ji Xingyao said stubbornly: "It doesn't hurt, I don't feel anything at all."

Li Heng looked at her red forehead and accepted her white lie.

"My Lord, is there something wrong?"

Li Heng nodded. He took off the pouch from his waist and handed it to Ji Xingyao, saying with anticipation, "Open it and take a look."

Ji Xingyao didn't answer: "I won't read it."

Li Heng's hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on his lips was frozen.

He begged humbly, "Open it and take a look, please."

"Just take a look and let this slave go?"

"Ah."

Ji Xingyao impatiently took the purse, opened it and took out the jade pendant inside.

A complete double-moon ring star.

It has the same quality and craftsmanship as the previous one, and is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

However, Ji Xing immediately discovered the only difference between the two jade pendants. There were two words engraved on one of them: Xingyao.

Ji Xingyao pretended not to see the inscription on it, put the jade pendant into her purse, and returned it to Li Heng.

"I have finished reading and will take my leave first."

Seeing her cold reaction, Li Heng clenched his purse in disappointment.

"Ling'er."

Li Heng called her again.

"What for!" Ji Xingyao replied impatiently.

Li Heng wasn't angry. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't leave Yonghe Palace for the next few days. Let others handle the work. Stay with the Empress Dowager. Don't be away for so long like you did today."

Ji Xingyao, who was angry, alertly sensed something strange in his words.

She looked at Li Heng again: "Why can't we leave Yonghe Palace?"

Li Heng seemed to know the conversation between her and Eunuch Zhou and said, "Listen to me and don't come out. Once the emperor's sister-in-law gives birth safely, the emperor will naturally lift her ban."

Why is the ban lifted after giving birth to a child?

Ji Xingyao was worried that Wen Yuan would be tied up by the child and would be unable to leave here.

She always felt that something was going to happen. Could it be related to the people from Southern Xinjiang in Mingyue Palace?

She suddenly raised her eyes and met Li Heng's dark eyes. She felt as if she had grasped something, but she didn't understand what it was.

Her brain was working rapidly, and she changed her way of asking: "Minister Xu, are you going to be released from the prison?"

When she mentioned Xu Jinyi at this critical moment, Li Heng's face suddenly darkened.

The vinegar jar fell to the ground, and it was so sour that it made his teeth ache.

No matter how sad he was, he didn't want to lie to Ling'er: "If everything goes well, Minister Xu will be acquitted."

Ji Xingyao stared at Li Heng, mentally assessing how credible his words were.

She was convinced that Xu Jinyi's case involved people from Southern Xinjiang, and Li Heng said: If everything goes well...

This sentence is very valuable.

Ji Xingyao urgently needed to return to Yonghe Palace to tell her these things.

"Ling'er," Li Heng called her again.

Li Heng stuffed the purse into Ji Xingyao's hand and said, "Keep it for me first. I'll ask you for it after I'm done."

Ji Xingyao was not interested: "If such a valuable item is accidentally broken by this servant again..."

"I'll find someone else to play with it, so don't worry about it breaking."

Ji Xingyao knew that if she didn't take it, Li Heng would probably not leave. In order to get away, she quickly put away her purse and turned around and ran away.

This time, Li Heng didn't catch up.
